Happy Birthday Joey!

This was an idea that was sparked by the following email that I received from Joey's Grandma & Grandpa Boyer. Enjoy and feel free to leave your own birthday message for the little man!

(As for mom and dad, we'll be singing "Happy Birthday" all day in our heads and our hearts. We love you and miss you, son!)

In memory of Joseph Roy Elkins, born March 24th, 2008 at 12:42pm PST.


Joeys First Birthday Eve 2009

On the Eve of your birthday we want to wish you a Happy 1st Birthday Joey, Grandma B and I miss you very much. We know you are celebrating with the Angels. It must be a lot of fun flying around everywhere blowing Trumpets and singing to the Lord. One day we will see you again but for now we only have memories from pictures and the words from your Mom and Dad and Family that saw and held you.


I even have the Ultrasound your Mom sent to me. She called you “The Mexican Jumping Bean” because you were bouncing all over the place.

On Father’s Day last year Grandma B made a picture book for me and titled it “Happy Father’s Day Grandpa, Love Joey.”

Joey, many times I have touched your pictures with tears in my eyes saying, “It’s going to be all right.”

One day all will be able to see you grab your first birthday cake, squeezing it in tight fists, smashing it all over your smiling face. Then we’ll clean you up so you can open presents and Play hide and seek. All will hear you Giggle and Laugh.

This day will always be remembered as a Blessed Day Joey because of how you made your Mom and Dad so proud to be parents bringing Joy into their Life.

Love You Always,
Grandma and Grandpa B

March is finally here!!

Hello everyone!

It seems like forever we have been putting things together and planning for Joey's 1st Birthday! In honor of our angel of a son, Joey's Room's 1st Annual Auction will take place on March 24th of this year and all proceeds will be donated to the March of Dimes in Joey's name.

We couldn't be more excited at how much the website and the auction have taken off. Thank you to all of those who have helped, whether by donating an auction item, or by bidding on one. We are so lucky to have you be a part of this memorial.

If you haven't visited our website, please take a minute to check it out. www.joeysroom.org

Thanks!
Michael & Virginia
(aka Joey's Daddy & Mommy)
